### 2/5 — FIDO2 지원이 안됩니다.

*2023-07-12*

회사의 Confluence 인증이 FIDO2와 연동되어 있는데, 브라우저 문제인지 해당 화면에서 멈춥니다.

어플리케이션에서 FIDO2 인증이 되도록 지원해 주십시오.

### 2/5 — Slow

*2023-07-07, version 1.37.0*

Title

### 3/5 — 게시글 수정시 버그 수정좀 해주세요

*2023-03-13*

위키 게시물 수정할때 버그가 좀 많네요…
한줄의 뒷내용을 고쳐야하믄데 커서 이동이 뒤에까지 안갑니다..ㅜㅜ

### 1/5 — penoso

*2022-02-17*

no deja iniciar sesión si no tienes cuenta,están poniendote todo el rato que escribas una palabra deformada

### 1/5 — No german version

*2021-12-04*

I Need a german Version

### 1/5 — 사실상 쓸 수 없는 앱

*2021-11-23*

검색을 해서 개별 페이지를 열 수는 있으나, 페이지 계층구조를 볼 방법이 없기 때문에 사실상 쓸 수 없는 앱입니다

### 1/5 — Sailor’s cove

*2021-10-16*

I don’t understand how this is going to help us with our job. We have had no training on this so who knows if I am doing it right.

### 2/5 — Confusing and not very useful

*2021-09-08*

The structure and way of working is different to what you do in the web interface. So it is really difficult to find your pages and review or edit them. It’s free so at least no money lost just time and nerves!

### 1/5 — Utterly useless, negative stars

*2021-08-07*

Why is confluence mobile completely useless?
One example:
Pagetree doesn’t work, so I can’t see the subpages for any page. This is a key feature and one my team uses all the time.
Would be better to not have an app at all.

### 3/5 — Missing lots of little things that would make this useful

*2021-04-27*

Missing lots of little things that would make this useful. Examples:
Current logged in user, it’s a guessing game.
Does not display some macros, like children display, which breaks user navigation of stacked pages.

### 2/5 — Tried it, didn’t work

*2021-04-20*

I tried with an internal corporate site I can reach from the internet. The app would not work with the site and I should talk to my admin about filters for unauthenticated access. 

Seems silly to work with a browser and sso but not the app. 

Deleted the app since I couldn’t start using it.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2021-03-30, version 1.20.0*

Has an icon for a bullet list but you can’t increment and decrement. You can’t mention others using @ and can’t add action items with checkboxes. Severely lags behind confluence cloud.

### 1/5 — Does not work over VPN

*2021-03-16*

Does not work over VPN, constantly getting errors and unable to use app at all. Uninstalling.

**Developer response:** Hi, We are sorry to hear about this, our support team is more than happy to further assist you on this. To do so please raise a support request at https://support.atlassian.com/

### 2/5 — Just awful

*2020-12-23*

It’s not even good at being able to keep us logged in. Especially when there ja a single Signon. It’s just awful that we need togo through   painful process every single time to login. Why can’t it just remember the credentials like the browser does. 

When writing pages, the fonts mess it up so much I almost always have to go to HTML editor on desktop to fix it. 

It is just hard to get pages that we saved or were editing before. Not one thing I find useful or properly working in this app.

### 1/5 — No 2FA support like Jira Server

*2020-11-16*

Seems that there is no 2FA support like Jira Server. We use Okta and with Jira Server it works but confluence does not bring up the correct login page and can’t authenticate.

**Developer response:** Hi, We are sorry to hear about this, our support team is more then happy to further assist you on this. To do so please raise a support request at https://support.atlassian.com/

### 1/5 — Can’t open confluence page

*2020-11-12*

Get a message saying that can’t verify blabla talk to your admin... even though I’m able to open it with safari and it will ask me for 2 factor authentication and then it works.
Unacceptable

### 1/5 — Won’t let me connect

*2020-08-31*

I’ve tried all the troubleshooting tips, and I still can’t connect. Guess I’m stuck using the web browser :(

### 1/5 — 뭐야

*2020-08-20*

앱으로. 안열리는데요 ?  인터넷으로 연결되는데?

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — The functions are very incomplete.

*2025-05-09*

Very poor! When there are multiple first-level directories in a single space, only the first one can be displayed; Chinese cannot be shown; and pictures cannot be inserted!

### 1/5 — Super outdated

*2025-01-09*

The app doesn’t handle dark mode well, and has super many issues like you scroll and the page content disapears, Tags are not displayed, search is abysmal… 

Not a good app, the webview is better, and also it doesn’t register correctly for the URLs so the link klicks open in the browser

### 1/5 — Abstürze und unzureichende Configuration

*2024-05-29*

Diese App ist so ziemlich die schlechteste Umsetzung von einer Website in eine App. Schade!

### 1/5 — Still useless

*2024-05-21*

Tried to use over citrix (Netscaler) VPN & no matter it doesn’t work. Can’t even resolve the internal addresses, while pretty much all other apps (outlook / Web / SSH) working fine.

### 1/5 — Missing Calendar

*2023-05-09*

This mobile app is useless to me without the ability to access my team’s calendars. This is a critical part of how we use Confluence.

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2023-03-29*

I literally can’t use this app because it doesn’t recognize SSO (as the Jira app does) so I can’t even login…

Although given what I’ve seen from others, I might not be missing much :-/

### 1/5 — Still waiting on the dark mode

*2022-07-25*

Still waiting on the dark mode

### 1/5 — Poor quality app from an IT-giant Company

*2022-07-20*

Overall app looks almost as a poor bad-humor mock-up of original confluence portal. With pages taller than 2-page height after a small scroll on iPad the app instantly crashes and it happens for more than 2 years after I’ve left a recent review. As for the overall experience as Ive said app does not remotely repeats the Confluence portal - almost nothing works and even for read-only usage it is totally useless. Shame on confluence!

### 1/5 — Rubish

*2022-03-19*

App not able to handle local address and connect to the appropriate server. Since last august there was no time to fix the issue? Shame..

### 1/5 — Can’t tell if the app is broken

*2022-03-08, version 1.28.0*

Can’t tell if the app is broken or has always been this bad.

### 5/5 — Did you recently update it? Well done.

*2023-03-02*

Whatever happened, the app now appears to be world class and totally usable, could even be a OneNote replacement. 10/10 for not dumping the on prem customers and keeping this going. Not everyone wants cloud and a lot of teams actively prefer self hosting for infosec reasons. Thank you for making this app usable.

Confirmed working over Pulse VPN on iPhone. This is now enterprise grade finally.

### 5/5 — Excellent UI Interface

*2020-03-17*

Love the way your presentation of information and user interface. It enables me to keep informed with updates. I can easily add comments and view changes in real time.

### 5/5 — Amazing and finally

*2019-04-05*

We need the same for Jira server now please

**Developer response:** Hi there,

### 5/5 — Those $10 bucks go a long way!!

*2018-12-05*

Setup a confluence server at home, love it! Found this app, so much nicer than the phone website version.

Great documentation center for my homelab.

Thanks!

### 5/5 — DuoMobile Security

*2018-10-06*

Hello people, is it posible to use this app with our self hosted confluence server with duomobile two way security software? I didn’t got it working. The app only says not found...Thank you very much!

**Developer response:** We're sorry to hear that you weren't able to login. We have done a release that should have a fix for this issue. Please try and login again. If you do run into issues, please reach out to us on confluence-server-mobile@atlassian.com so that we can help you. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Works very well. Thank you !

*2018-08-05*

Seamless integration with our server.

### 5/5 — 기다리던 앱!

*2018-05-24*

Confluence 자체 모바일 뷰는 답답했었는데 이제 깔끔하고 보기 좋네요.

### 5/5 — Nice way for handling our Confluence Server

*2018-04-30*

Hurray,
Instead of the mobile website, a better way to use touch and create and modify content on our Confluence based Wiki

### 4/5 — Good app

*2020-11-17*

But auto login is missing ...

### 4/5 — Much better than the web version Love it... but lacks few features

*2019-12-07*

Love it much better than the web version but can be even better.. by
Supporting the Roadmap Planner, Dark mode and using the pencil to simply add a quick drawing if needed
